BIG Painting at Home

BIG Painting at home

I brought the two BIG (4'x5') canvases home to finish up.  There is certainly not as much room as there is at the Beverly Street Studio School.  I'm standing as far back as I can get, although I can move over toward the door.  The light isn't ideal either, but I'll make do.  Working on the big ones is a blast.  Knowing where to store them until they go someplace else....involves creative thought patterns.  I have started working on the sky and water, haven't gotten into the bushes yet.  More to come....

It is very fun to paint this large. I am much closer to being finished with this one. I will post pictures soon, next week hopefully. Thanks everyone!
